Water damage restoration in Punta Gorda deals with a waterfront city on Charlotte Harbor where the Peace River empties. Hurricane Charley hit the city directly in 2004, and Hurricane Ian brought wind and surge again in 2022. Roof damage let rain into thousands of homes both times.
Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles are canal neighborhoods of block homes on slabs, many with lanais and pool cages that open onto the water. Storm surge and king tides reach seawalls and low lots, and wind-driven rain enters around sliders. Away from the canals, AC drain and supply line leaks are the common calls.
